      Quite possibly. I don’t think I’ve ever had any Bluetooth device work without hiccups. My old earbuds used to disconnect or lose pairing all the time. A couple of game controllers I have only worked intermittently for years. My phone is always losing connection in our car. I’ve ironed out some of the problems, but I’ve never had Bluetooth just work for me.

      Bluetooth with mobile devices I’d agree. But my work pc hates Bluetooth devices. Such as refusing to use the correct audio channel with headphones, so I still use wired headphones.

      I’ve always felt Windows could be temperament with Bluetooth, especially pre Windows 7. Like XP seemed to be a shitshow for Bluetooth.

        I hate everything wireless when it comes to PC peripherals. They just randomly stop working or have a weird, noticeable lag. I have a 3 bucks WLAN adapter on my RPi that surprisingly works OK, but that’s it.

      Bluetooth is like the SpongeBob “repeating then saying something different” meme where you go through the whole annoying pairing process, then it plays through the PC speaker anyway

      Bluetooth gives me the same sensation as a stove with faulty knobs. It’s like there’s a veil between me and the machine.
